Information for Students
Are you interested in studying with us?
We will publish here offers for student projects related to our research. If you are interested, contact the proposing person directly.
These projects are typically european projects, and projects in collaboration with private companies. Such projects can finish in a Ph.D. thesis, final M.Sc. thesis or bachelor degree project ("treball de fí de grau", TFG), or academically supervised work ("treballs acadèmics dirigits", crèdits de lliure elecció).
If you are a student and are considering working with us, you are welcome to write us (check the section "People" and "Research" to find your topic and contact person).
